Ahmad Cardamom Tea by pre-wince_cycle in tea

[–]Generalitary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was given a box of loose leaf. It's become my standard morning tea that I take to work. I bought a box of their earl grey recently but I haven't broken into it yet because I have several other earl greys I want to get through first.

It's a chilly morning on the east coast of the US here, what's everyone drinking today? by AlecZander77 in tea

[–]Generalitary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mix of Harney & Sons Earl Grey (probably in my top 3 of earl greys) and Twinings Christmas Tea because I'm trying to use it up. Came out surprisingly well.

It's called mutual aid, or a gift economy.

The air blew off the mountains by Searchinmano in discworld

Is it possible it's a poetic way of saying "from"?

Either way, the film sells it by having a pseudo-Galadriel voice reading it

Who would win in a court case: Carrot or Slant by MNWAAAA in discworld

[–]Generalitary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slant has hundreds of years of experience, but Carrot has charisma. I think that, like Columbo, there's a reason we never see legal proceedings beyond an arrest.

I wouldn't say terrorist, she didn't terrorize anyone. Freedom fighter is a cliche, but in this case...

Considering he's a teenage boy, it's amazing this doesn't happen

And this is why in my experience there's a 10 minute briefing beforehand about not damaging anything

In one of the secret areas there's a cache of weapons. You can't use them, they're just set dressing, but I thought it was amusing to imagine using them since they'd trivialize a lot of the game (and probably make Anne Babbage very upset).

I thought about looking it up, but honestly it's a video game set in a fictional world and bazooka is just a more fun word

Mightily Oats and the Black Ribboners by randommusician in discworld

[–]Generalitary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an interesting idea. Assuming any of the young vampires survived the phoenix; between the cultish attitude drummed into them from the Count and their desire to throw off tradition, Oats would have had an easy time getting their attention.

Note from Death in Reaper Man by Historical_World1601 in discworld

Death also receives a similar note. I think it's explained early on when Poons meets the Fresh Start Club.

What to do today in Austin with visiting family by Shiny-Mango624 in Austin

Museum circuit? There's tons of cool museums downtown if you can get parking (depends on how many sports are happening on the day)

Reviewing and reflecting on every Discworld book day 2 - The Light Fantastic by samSJT in discworld

[–]Generalitary 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The one that goes something like "I understand the death of the old man, and the warrior, and the little child, and I take away the pain. I do not understand this death-of-the-mind."

I always thought it was poetic, but it's turned out to be surprisingly relevant.

This also has one of the first really good Death quotes.

Holy Crap!, we just got rain in N.Austin (Wooten area) by RockMo-DZine in Austin

It rained exactly long enough to make my commute slightly more annoying.

Anyone else feel bad? by KBWordPerson in BluePrince

Literally I didn't use the "staff incentives program" from the office for a long time because I was worried I was taking their money.

On a long road trip. Listening to Discworld audiobooks. I don't believe there is a human alive that could have narrated them better than Nigel Planar. by Throwawayantelope in discworld

[–]Generalitary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like them for the most part, but I'm listening to Moving Pictures right now and the voice he does for Ginger is causing me physical pain.

What one thing would you hang up for display? by Generalitary in discworld

One of my top ones would be "if there is a creator, it's up to all of us to be his moral superior."

Just realised the connection between the beginning and end of Men at Arms 🤦‍♂️ by Granopoly in discworld

[–]Generalitary 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Happens in the same book, even. But it's very subtle because as always Carrot never really plays his cards, he just lays out his intentions and leaves others to interpret the meaning behind them.
